I agree. She is fun still. If you don’t consider her fun, then you only liked her for mass resurrection or for easy game-play.

I find Lucio, Tracer, Genji and Pharah extremely unfun to play, that’s why i don’t play them. The hypocrisy is in entitlement where everything should be focused on vocal minority. If the hero is boring to you stop playing it. You don’t see me picking up pharah anymore… Or tracer even though i have around 100 hours on her i haven’t touched her in a year or so…because she’s boring…
Seriously, the entitlement is too much.

it is
Part of it has to be a skill discussion though. Animetic is a little sloppy (and I’m really nitpicking a gm player), but he’s showing how “fine” Mercy is at high levels. Hell, South Korea ran Mercy in the World Cup.
People are just finding reasons to complain about her at this point. She’s fine and if you can’t get value out of her, then it’s entirely on you.

I said they weren’t using tricks.
I never said these tricks made her anymore fun.
I’ll be honest, I don’t think she needed to be reworked the first time around. I think she was fine. Even so, the devs have done it and they’ve said that a revert isn’t going to happen and that they’re happy with the way Mercy is now.
Plus, the difference is, many don’t find her frustrating to play. It’s just those people aren’t going to be speaking up. The unhappy few will always be louder than the happy many. We have no way of knowing how many people truly like or dislike her.

Are you joking me?
Mercy may be balanced, Ana is far easier to get value out of in this current meta however.

Maybe not to you. Fun is subjective.

Not if you have poor aim, like me
Of course she’s still fun and impactful. Her core kit hasn’t changed. Forum Mercy mains are just bad and want her to be super rewarding again aka busted.

What does that have to do with anything?
Ana is far easier to get value out of.
Mercy (and pretty much every other healer) is directly countered by a single one of Ana’s abilities. At where I am usually ranked, Ana has a near 100% pickrate. One of Mercy’s counters being absurdly strong probably denies people who play her a lot of value.

this argument could have also been used against changing mercy the first time. The unhappy few didn’t like mass rez, but Mercy got reworked anyway, why keep her now when the unhappy few are much louder than they were before?

People are asking for a D-tier version of a hero to come back, with tweaks if needed.
Is that your definition of “busted” ?

Ana kills goats in one ability too but that hasn’t stopped anyone from running goats, has it?
This is pretty much how I play Mercy. Constant chain-dashing with rapid beam-management.
Glad to see there are others that know she’s capable of stuff like this. 
(That being said, I still wish they’d make Valk a little more engaging. Spectator mode free-flight is kind of… meh. And so are chain beams. #makevalkfun)

Yeah
Are you talking about OWL? Literally Devs focus Waaay to much about some Pros, and almost nothing to Players with alot of hours playing Mercy.

True, but that doesn’t mean Mercy can’t be played. Ana is meta right now, but it’s not like everyone always picks the meta. And while I have more time on Ana this season, I still have good Mercy hours as well. Mercy is still better in some comps.
That’s another issue I see. People trying to one trick Mercy. She’s viable and good, just not in every comp, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Just like Moira in that way. Ana’s the new most versatile healer because she works in nearly all comps, though she too has her weaknesses.
Mercy looks pretty good to me when I watch this video, what exactly are people complaining about?
